Consumers snapped up new autos at pre-pandemic rates in the first quarter of 2021 by more than 8%.
The gain was powered by higher demand in anticipation of a return to offices and everyday travel as vaccination rates exceeded one-quarter of the population. Also, fear of lower supplies of cars because of chip shortages has left consumers scrambling for any car that they can get, which means accepting less-than-optimal colors, features and even swapping to a different model entirely if needed.
The projected sales acceleration is part of a trend that began soon after factories reopened last summer and has persisted in the months since then. This year’s gains come from retail buyers, whose purchases soared 20% compared with a year ago — a period that largely predated the onset of shelter-in-place orders. Retail deliveries are forecast to have reached 3.16 million vehicles in the quarter, the second-highest total ever.

The Passenger Car Market will reach 1598.21 billion USD by 2025. A Passenger car can be defined as a car designed for carrying only a few people. Passenger vehicles are the most common mode of transport and the number is increasing in developed as well as developing countries.
92% of people buying cars today already research online. This year we saw a complete online car buying journey emerge including purchase and delivery. People want online car buying.
Prior to the pandemic, only a few dealerships had online capabilities to execute a full online experience. While the purchase journey itself was happening online, the purchase remained offline. Since COVID-19, at-home test drives and vehicle delivery were tied as the number 1 alternative to visiting a car dealership for shoppers.
At a time when social restrictions related to the pandemic are impacting consumer behavior, developing strategies for how to meet consumer demand for online buying and at-home delivery can make a large impact: 18% of auto shoppers would buy a vehicle sooner if they could purchase the vehicle they wanted without going to a dealership.
